500-Pound Man Accused Of Fast-Food Scam


POSTED: 4:19 pm EST December 13, 2005
UPDATED: 10:13 am EST December 14, 2005

A 500-pound man in Seminole County, Fla., was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of scamming fast-food restaurants out of large amounts of milk shakes and tacos, according to a Local 6 News report.


George Jolicoeur, 33.




Investigators said George Jolicoeur, 33, would visit fast-food businesses and order food.


Jolicoeur would then call or visit the restaurants posing as a police officer or a firefighter and ask for a refund because there was a hair in his food, according to the report.

"He would come back and say, 'Oh, there is something wrong with it,'" Seminole County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Olson said. "There was a hair in my shake or there was a hair in my tacos. And, then he wants his money back."

Jolicoeur was captured after he went to a Steak N' Shake restaurant near Oviedo and Taco Bell in Central Florida and allegedly tried to get money back for the food he ordered.

Local 6 News reported that Jolicoeur has been arrested more than 24 times on charges of burglary, drugs and domestic problems, Local 6 News reported.

"Jolicoeur's rap sheet is as thick as a book," Local 6 reporter Chris Trenkmann said. "When he was first checked into the jail in 1991, he weighed 360 pounds. This morning, the jail weighed him at 500 pounds."

Police in Sanford, Fla., and other cities are investigating the possibility that Jolicoeur was scamming area restaurants, Trenkmann said.

He remains in the Seminole County Jail facing several charges.

I'd hate to see the local PD if he was able to pose as one of them without drawing suspicion.

Really..  Its not my hair that I found inside my tacos.

What drew suspicion is the fact that he mentioned finding something like a hair in his food...one look at this fat f*#k and one knows he doesn't pause (or chew) enough while shoveling in order to find a darn hair (or a finger-tip for that matter).

I say put him on a prison diet...

LOL I am sure no one recognized him when he came back in.


I wonder if he flead from police on foot?


Only if he picked up both of his feet and rolled.

I wonder how many sets of cuffs and how many police cars they put him in.

probably should have tried to pull the scam on a health foods store. Hippies are much more accomodating and it might have been a tad bit better for his health?

+1!

Did he have a uniform or a fake badge or something?  Isn't that an additional charge of "impersonating a Police Officer"??

Sumthin' about this story doesn't add up, and I'm officially calling BS.
There is NO WAY this fat mofer would ever give back food once it touched his greasy fingers.

wtf? There are some looney ass people here in Orlando.


Why would he impersonate a po-po? You dont have to be a cop to complain about food. Ive gotten hair in my food before and fast food policies are usually exchange no questions.


LMAO, i'd love to see his uniform!

For some peeps, food is an addiction just like the pills and booze are to others...

People that big have to eat a lot of food to maintain that weight, I see obese women at work always coming in for the day carrying bags of snacks and crap.
